Supplementary Texts:

Though the consultation of other textbooks is purely voluntary, both struggling students and those who wish to solidify their understanding of the material should find other texts helpful. Unless otherwise indicated, texts are shelved either in the stacks or on honors reserve (consult Tripod). Numbers in parentheses following citations indicate the number of copies of the text which are available on General Reserve in McCabe.

Additional supplements to required text

• R. Rosenman, Instructor's manual to accompany ... text. (2)
• C. Stevens, Test bank to accompany ... text. (2)

Good calculus-based text

• B.R. Binger and E. Hoffman, Microeconomics with Calculus,1st or 2nd ed., 1988, 1998. (3)

Introductory textbook of the encyclopedic, year-long course variety. Particularly good for introductions to basic concepts

• W.J. Baumol & A.S. Blinder, Economics: principals & policy,1991 or later. (3)

Don't require or use calculus

Supplemental study guide, found useful by past students having difficulty:

• D. Salvatore, 1992 Schaum's outline of theory and problems of microeconomic theory,3rd ed. (3)

Somewhat less difficult (hence less coverage) and considerably"wordy-er":

• E. Mansfield, Micro-economics: theory / applications, 1994. (3)
• E. Mansfield, Applied microeconomics, 1994. (1)

Previously used textbook, excellent reference for graphical analysis:

• H. Kohler, Intermediate microeconomics: theory and applications, 3rd ed. (2)

Reasonably close in coverage and level to Katz & Rosen:

• G.S. Maddala & E. Miller, Microeconomics: theory and applications,1988.
• B.C. Eaton & D.F. Eaton, Microeconomics,1988.

Somewhat more difficult; follows the conventional approach:

• J. Hirshleifer, Price Theory and applications,1984,88.

Somewhat more difficult; approaches the material 'unconventionally:'

• H.R. Varian, Intermediate microeconomics: a modern approach,1987,90.
• D.N. McCloskey, The applied theory of price,1985.

Classic textbooks (none is comparable in coverage to Katz & Rosen but each is well worth looking at or even reading in its entirety):

• A. Marshall, Principles of economics,8th ed.
• T. Scitovsky, Welfare and competition,rev. ed., 1971.
• G.J. Stigler, The theory of price,3rd ed., 1966.

Require, use calculus

Useful calculus refreshers:

• A.C. Chiang, Fundamental methods of mathematical economics,1974,84.
• M.W. Klein, Mathematical methods for economics,1997/8.

Calculus-based texts:
NOTE: The second of these texts is considerably more advanced than the other two; it is close to a graduate text.

• W. Nicholson, Microeconomic theory: basic principles and extensions,1985,92,98.
• J.M. Henderson & R.E. Quandt, Microeconomic theory: a mathematical approach,1980.
